    hi there, i was wondering if anyone is familiar with htaccess files & creating them for wordpress...


    I have this plugin installed on a wp site, and permalinks are not working correctly. When i set permalinks to any option other than the default one i get page not found errors.. I remove the plugin and permalinks work fine.

    So it must be because i have it in a subfolder off the root folder on my hosting. But it has its own domain pointing to the domain. And the plugin doesnt know where it is installed..

    well i installed the site theme and plugin on a totally diferrent host and it works absolutely fine there.

    So i need to know how or what to modify in order for the plugin to know im installed in a subfolder off the root folder with its own domain pointing to it.


    Any help would bre appreciated. :D

    What's the CHMOD setting on your htaccess? Sounds like it doesn't have write permissions...make sure those boxes are checked.

    Yeap. I am sure. Issue is with your .htaccess file. Check with it.

    DON.

    Hi there

    Yeah i went and checked and it is set for 644

    what should it be? 777 or 755 ?


    This what is in the htaccess


    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress



    *edit

    I tried all permisions possible for htaccess and no go.. the funny thing is, only the category links are not permalinking. Everywhere else on the site is fine... The categories are setup in three columns on the main page. When you mouse over the category link.

    it is going to sitename.com/category/examplefolder/examplesubfolder/

    its the /category/ part i think that is messin things up.


    Any ideas?
